cm83 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I’m trying to find out whether my beta is a factory model or not. Guy I bought it off wasn’t sure at the time but sold it to me on the assumption it wasn’t. It’s had an engine rebuild last year when big end went and mechanic thought it may be factory because of some of the extras on there. It’s got “factory” on the casing, yellow rear shock, and some other noticeable differences but wondered whether there was anything really obvious I could check it against. The Vin number is really hard to read on it, but I’ve got the engine number (it’s deffo a 300). Guy I bought it off couple of years back sold it as a 14 model. Decals are nothing to go by as they’ve been changed a couple of times. I’m putting it up for sale as I don’t use it (it’s immaculate) so I just need to find out more info before I advertise.

overdale Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 As far as I know the Factory bike had red anodised bits all over the bike and a titanium front exhaust from standard, so it doesn't look like one. For any 2nd hand Betas you can check if the year and model is as advertised by going to the Beta uk website, parts finder and type in your frame number and it will tell you the year and type.

reggie Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 an easy way to find out about this bike is to go to the " betamotor " website go to the parts finder and type in the VIN no more guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
